"My dear nephew, now that Yuan's thieves are powerful and our army has only a small number of generals, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything. Uncle Yi thinks it's better to retreat to Zhangwu for the time being and recharge our batteries for the future."
In the Chinese army's tent, after being retreated, Gongsun Fan struggled for a moment in embarrassment, and finally spoke out of embarrassment. It was obvious that Gongsun Fan was determined to retreat.
"Uncle, you must not do this. That Yuan Benchu is really not a loyal person. If uncle retreats and defends himself at this time, it seems that he can gain temporary stability. However, it will only last more than a month and not last more than three months. Yuan's thieves will definitely raise an army to invade. Bohai County, by then, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it."
Even though he had long known that Gongsun Fan was irresponsible, Gongsun Ming still couldn't help but get angry after hearing what Gongsun Fan said. Of course, he was annoyed, but at this moment, Gongsun Ming definitely didn't dare to say anything. All that was revealed was a very sincere statement.
"Ah, this..."
When Gongsun Ming said this, Gongsun Fan Deng was stunned. Without him, he could not defeat Chunyu Qiong's 5,000-strong army, let alone the main force of Yuan Shao's entire Yizhou army. He wanted to surrender. Well, but he couldn't help but worry that Yuan Shao would settle accounts with him after the fall, and he wanted to escape. Firstly, he was reluctant to leave his family property, and secondly, he didn't know where to escape, probably because Youzhou was destroyed, and Bohai County was on his own. Surrounded by Yuan Shao's territory on three sides, and the remaining side is covered by the vast ocean. Under such circumstances, it is not easy to escape intact.
"Uncle Mingjian, my Gongsun family has a blood feud with Yuan Benchu, and you have offended him many times. Even if my uncle intends to surrender, I'm afraid he will not be able to escape Yuan's thief's future settlement, okay?"
If Gongsun Ming wanted to make a comeback, his only hope was the more than 20,000 troops and horses in Gongsun Fan's hands. Naturally, he couldn't sit back and watch this situation and just wanted to surrender, so he immediately pointed out the reason why he couldn't surrender.
"Sigh... what should we do? How about you and my uncle and nephew leave immediately and go to Xuchang to join Prime Minister Cao."
beat? Gongsun Fan definitely doesn't have the guts to surrender? Not daring to surrender, all he could think of was escape.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Let's not mention that Xuchang is thousands of miles away, and there are Yuan thieves' territories along the way. No matter which way you, my uncle and my nephew go, I'm afraid they will fall into a trap. Even if we are lucky enough to reach Xuchang , With no soldiers and power in his hands, how can Prime Minister Cao reuse us? How can we bear the pain of living under someone else's fence?"
In order to deceive Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Ming really used his sharp tongue to the fullest extent, and went to great lengths to analyze the reasons why Gongsun Fan could not escape.
"This, this...could it be that God wants to destroy my Gongsun family?"
beat? If you can't fight, run away? Unable to escape, Gongsun Fan Deng was so anxious that his eyes burst into tears.
"Uncle, don't be anxious. According to my nephew, although my Gongsun family is in danger, there is still hope. If we can take precautions, we can not only defeat the Yuan thieves, but also hopefully regain Youzhou and restore the glory of my Gongsun family."
Seeing that Gongsun Fan was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, Gongsun Ming's eyes immediately lit up with a glimmer of light, and he immediately gave Gongsun Fan a reassurance.
"Oh? If you have any clever ideas tomorrow, please come and tell me."
Gongsun Fanzheng was worried about himself. When Leng Buding heard what Gongsun Ming said, he immediately became energetic.
"Uncle Mingjian, in my nephew's opinion, whether our army is withdrawing or fighting, the top priority is to defeat the enemy in front of us in one fell swoop. I wonder what my uncle thinks?" Gongsun Fan was anxious, but Gongsun Ming But on the contrary, he was not in a hurry, and instead of saying the countermeasures first, he nodded calmly.
"That's true, but Chunyu Qiong is so brave and his troops are twice as many as ours. It's hard to win this battle."
As soon as Gongsun Ming said this, Gongsun Fan's face immediately darkened. For no other reason, it was not like he had never fought against Chunyu Qiong's men. In half a month, he had been defeated twice in a row and had lost a lot of troops. He was already scared of being beaten, so asking Gongsun Fan to beat him again was really lacking in courage.
"It is impossible to fight a hard fight, but it is not difficult to win with clever tactics. As far as my nephew knows, Chunyu Qiong is an extremely greedy person. In the past half month, due to the strict orders of Yuan Thief and the pressure from his uncle's troops, this I don’t dare to act recklessly. If my uncle sends someone to ask for surrender today and presents him with a seal, ribbon and household registration book, he will be overjoyed and forget about it. His old attitude will undoubtedly be cute. And our army will attack at night. How difficult is it to win a big victory?"
When Gongsun Fan mentioned Chunyu Qiong, a disdainful smile appeared on Gongsun Ming's lips, and he confidently gave a strategy to defeat the enemy.
"Well, it's a good plan, but..."
Even though Gongsun Ming had already explained the strategy so clearly, Gongsun Fan was still worried. He hesitated for a while and did not dare to make a decision.
"Uncle, we are in a critical situation. If you don't fight, you will die. If you fight, you can get a glimmer of hope. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, why not rise up and give it a try. If my uncle is trustworthy, I will leave this matter to my nephew to arrange it calmly. If not, Sheng, my nephew comes to see you."
The reason why Gongsun Ming came to the Bohai Navy was because he aimed at the military power in Gongsun Fan's hands. To achieve this goal, Gongsun Ming did not hesitate to use some underhanded tactics.
"That's all, that's all. I'll give you my seal and ribbon as my uncle. All the troops under my command will obey your orders. You can do whatever you want. I don't care whether you live or die. That doesn't matter. It’s your life, my uncle’s and my nephew’s.”
Gongsun Fan himself had no fighting spirit at all, and he was never a power-loving person. Now that he was so provoked by Gongsun Ming, he simply gave all his military power to Gongsun Ming.
"My uncle must not say this. The Bohai Navy is my uncle's hard work. How can my nephew be so virtuous and capable? How dare he act so presumptuously? What my nephew said was just to prepare for this war. He must not dare to have the heart of his uncle. "
If you want to be a person, you have to erect a memorial arch, you can have a dark heart, and you can have a thick skin, but superficiality is absolutely necessary. Gongsun Ming has seen a lot of this in the officialdom in his previous life, and now he is playing tricks The small wrist is naturally very smooth, no matter what, he knelt down on the ground without saying a word, and when he made an impassioned speech, his eyes came out. That little look is as affectionate and sincere as possible.
"Please get up Ming'er. Alas, to be honest with Ming'er, I am just a mediocre uncle. I am not good at literature and martial arts. Being the prefect is just a coincidence. Ming'er is the legitimate son of my Gongsun family, so he should have done it." Inherit the great cause of my Gongsun family, what you have as an uncle is what you will have tomorrow, why bother to separate each other, let’s not talk about this, come, beat the drum and gather the generals!”
Although Gongsun Fan was a mediocre person, he was not narrow-minded. When he determined that Gongsun Ming was talented, he gave up the military power without hesitation. Once he said these words, Gongsun Ming was so shameless. It's thick enough, and some of them are inevitably slightly red...
